Israeli Films

[Sblast]

From the art-film Kippur to the popular cheek-flick Lemon Popsicle, what Israeli movies did you watch and like/dislike?

The latest major Israeli film released is the dark film "Big Bad Wolves" (2013) that 'tempers darkness with absurdism'. “That’s one thing we want to do in our movies — show the humanity inside the monster, and the monstrosity inside the human being.”
I'll watch it this week sometime.

this movie looks quite primitive imo.

I think the Cohen brothers would have to make aliyah for the Israeli movie industry to improve

I don't mind 'primitive' (low budget?) looking films as long as the content (and structure) is good.

Most Cohen brothers films look "primitive" yet are masterful, making a movie is more than giving it decent content and structure.

Yes, they are extremely talented, yet they are not Israeli (they also have high budgets ).

The Band's Visit is a delightful little film.

Israeli movies are made for Israeli audience, while Coen movies are made for the worldwide audience thats how I see it.

I invite everybody to watch these movies.

I really dislike Eytan Fox's films.

I only like 2 Eytan's Fox movies, Yossi & Jagger and Walk on Water, but I dislike The Bubble and others.
